1.-THE HAMILTON CASE.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Be-
fore Chief Justice Cooper
The Day Taken up In
Argument.

JACKSON, Aug. 29-The case ex
parte Jones S. Hamilton and L. M.
Eubanks came up for hearing on a
writ OF habeas corpus before Judge
Il. E. Cooper, chief justice of the
Supreme Court, at 10 o'clock a. m. in
Circuit Court room.
The sheriff having filed his return
on writ setting up "a {ermer trial un.
der wrist of hebeas corpus and claim
ing that new writ cannot be had for
that, the case is res adjudicata, and
also setting out that relators are held
under an indictment.
After recess the case was resumed
There was crowd of spectators pres
ent. District Attorney r. N. Miller
also appeared for the State. Col. Nu-
gent presented and had filed an amend
ment to the petition for relator Ham-
ilton), alleging in effect that he is suf-
ferihg from wound in his arm, and
that he IS in danger of losing the use
of tho arm unless the bullet, which
rests near the joint and on nerve, is
soon extracted; that his surgeon de-
clines to perform the operation while
he is confined in Jail, think ing that it
would be dangerous to do so.
TO settle the matter of jurisdiction
or the question of res adjudicata,
counsel for REALTORS presented and
filed the following motion:
The relators move the court to
strike out from the return to the writ
so much of It as sets up the habeas
corpus proceedings before Hon. E. G..
Peyton, chancellar, previous to the in
dictment found and the judgment of
said cheucellor thereon, as surplusage
and constituting no barrier to the ap-
plication now pending.
Judge Calhoon then proceeded to
argue orally the question, taking the
position that Chancellor Peyton
brought the parties before him by a
writ of of habeas corpus ON the ground
of unreasonable delay in preliminary
examination.
Messrs. Todd, of New Orleans, aud
Alexander, on the part of the State,
controverted these points and argued
that the trial before Chancellor Pey-
ton was strictly habeas corpus pro-
ceeding, and thai the relators are pre-
cluded under the statute from q sec
ond writ.
Col. Nugent followed for the relat-
ors in the same line Cf argument as
that of Judge Calhoon.

A DROWNING WOMAN
RESCUED BY A NOBLE NEW.
FOUNDLAND
From the Turbid Waters Of Dali
las Branch.

Dallas branch was tul aud swift
this moi ming, ard dangerously threat
ening to tho people who live rlong its
banks. Mrs. Poirier, a French woman,
and a widow, who lives OIL Caroline
street, was taking to patron some
clothes which she had Numbered and,
in crossing the branch near Mr.. j. w.
Mceley's, fell in. Mr.. Meeley's little
daughter May heard the woman fall
in the stream rnd calling to "Carlo, "
their faithful Newfoundland, ran
quickly 10 the spot. Carlo plunged in
and caught the woman by the side
her head was under water; and after
swimming some 800 yards down the
clrrent, the dog succeeded in getting
his burden close enough to the bank
for Miss May to catch her hand. Then
May called her mother, end they placed
the woman out upon the ground.
Physicians were sent for aud the un-
conscious woman was moved to Mr..
Meeley's. Five minutes more would
have carried the body into the roaring
Trinity. Mrs. Poirier'S clothing was
light sud in getting strong hold in
the swift current, the dog bit the flesh.
But on reaching the bank in half
unconscious state, she could hard
ly be induced to take her arms from
about the neck of her rescuer, aud ex-
claimed "My, God, the dog has saved
my life more than my husband ever
done for me-"
After tho woman was in safe hands,
Carlo turned and went back into
the stream in search Of the woman's
bundle. He secured the basket and
three shirts, but some articles had
been swept away.
Mrs. Poirier has had all the atten-
tlon that could be given her but she
is not yet out of danger.
Carlo, the brave and intelligent
Newfoundland, is fine animal, near
ly two feet high, curly, coal black,
weighs 1l5 pounds. aad is only niue
teen months old. Mr.. Meeely says he
was offered $iCJ for him before this
incident and now no amount of mon
ey could buy him. He is certainly
noble dog, and is worthy of the
affection with which he is regarded by
the family.

BOODLER M'GARIGLE.
He Tells About How He Es-
capped to Ex-Alderman Jim
Appleton.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-Ex-Aldcrnan
Jim Appleton, who followed McGari-
glo to Canada, as a friend and cominia
sioncr from the ex-boodler's wife,
tells the following stosy of McGari-
gle's escape:
Mrs. McGarigle did not know that
her husband was leaving any more
than did the sheriff that night when he
took his famous bath. But after he
had been gone day or two and the
rumor Of his suicide by drowning,
ETC., had commenced to circulate, Mrs.
McGarigle became uneasy first, and
then fearful of their truth, until she
was in mental condition bordering
on iussnity, although when strangers
called she managed to control herself
wonderfully. Then it was that she
called on me. She cried SO much and
begged SO hard for mo to find her hus-
band aud bring back to her word
from him that, although 10th to do 80,
l finally consented and went to Can.

When met McGarglc he cried like
child. "My God, Jim," he said,
"this is tough. just think of 1t. l am
q refugee" He ssked how his wife
was, how she stood the ordeal and
what his friends thought of his escape.
When / told him that Mrs. McGarale
was outwardly calm, but tortured In
wardly, he sighed and said; "This 10
a bad business, Jim, but / couldn't
help It." When asked him why he
went away, he said: "Jim. no ono
can understand my position. because
no one knows how this thing weigh.

easy to have been consigned to the

torney could give me liberty for talk
ing why couldn't l give n.yselfliberty?
Grinnell said | would either have to
60 to Joliet for three years or go on
tho witness.stand and testify against

known mo better, for ] would sooner
die than testify against my friends,
and while gave him hope in order to
further my plans. sti'l L have never
intended doing it. l worked up the
scheme to escape myself, and what
help secured from the outside was
done by friends who did not really
know L was going to escape, although
they, of course, surmised it. | gave
them to understand that they should
not ask too many questions, az it
would not be proper for them to
know what | was doing, but only to
do my bidding.
He was always referring to his
crime. The gist of his remarks in
this particular were that he was fore
cd into his unfortunate position that
1t was necessary for him to do as the
commissioner wanted him to do in or
der to keep his position as warden
and provide for his wife and children.
And then the wholesale men were so
used to paying commissions tina. they
walked right into where he would be
at work at his desk and drop an on
vclope in front of him, and without
word walk out again.

The Mind Reading bishop Family.

The wonderful performances of Washing

called attention to the fact that Rev. James

established reputation for his ability to locate
hidden streams of water, and in his early life
was many times called upon to tell his less
highly endowed neighbors where wells should
be dug, It is said that he3neYer failed to give
the proper locationan to tell how many feet
Of earth and how many Of stone it would be
necessary to dig through Rev. James M.
Bishop is of the same family as the great
